This contractor got results.
Some years ago a contractor build
ing a railqpad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their iood and found thai they were
etting full rations of meat and were
rinking water from a stream nearby.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly j
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all sig_ns of stomach disorders passed
and Ins men showed a decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value ol good oatmeal. 53

One of the most wide spread and
most destructive diseases in this state
*tj\t present is the Black Hot of Sweet
Potato. This disease occurs quite
commonly and oes considerable dam- !
age on potatoes both in the field and
in storage. The rot Is caused by a j
parasitic fungus which, under cer- '
tain conditions, is able to pass from
one plant to another and thus spread
the disease.
The trouble first appears as brown
or black patches or mottled, dlscol- '
ored areas on the surface of the po
tatoes. Quite frequently these dis
colored areas are observed in pota
toes when they are dug but at this
stage the disease only seems to pene
trate the skin and Is apparently do
ing no serious harm. Later the rot
extends into the potato and causes
the affected area to turn black und
to emit the odor which is so charac
teristic of rotton potatoes. When such
potatoes are stored in warm, moist
places, the rot producing fungus be
comes especially active and by menus
of tiny spores, which ara produced in
small black pustules on the sur:'; (???
of the diseased areas, spreads rap'.dlv
from one potato to another. Under
stich conditions the disease is also
spread by the filaments of the fungus
growing from the rotton potato direct
ly into adjoining healthy potatoes. In
this way the rot might spread to every
potato in a bank.
If slightly diseased potatoes are
stored In a place where conditions!
are unfavorable for the development
of the rot. they frequently remain part
ly rotted until spring. The real dan
ger of spreading the disease from one
field to another comes in bedding such
potatoes. Slightly diseased potatoes
seem to sprout as readily as heal thr
ones, and the slips from such pota
toes are diseased.
The disease transferred with such
slips to the field remains on the plant
and attacks the potatoes when they
develop. The fungus which causes
black rot also lives over in the soil
from year to year and where potatoe s
are planted every year on the same
land, the disease constantly gets
worse.
To prevent black rot then we must :
First, secure disease free seed for
planting
Second, avoid planting potatoes on
the same land for two years in suc
cession.
Quito frequently it is impossible to
secure potatoes for bedding which are
entirely free from disease. In such
case it is well to use vines Instead of
slips, for the fungus which causes
the disease remains in the vicinity
of the roots of the plants. It does not
live in the vines and leaven, so vines
growr from diseased potatoes, If plant
ed on land which is free from disease,
will produce sound potatoes.
No-*, pj, I have said, black rot oc
cur* on the majority of the farms In
this state, and Is responsible either
directly or indirectly for the loss of
thousand of dollars worth of potatoes
annually. bo it is well for every farm
er to look out for it and guard against
Its spread. If you have already bedd
ed your potatoes ami are not sure that
they nre free from disease, plant as
much of your crop as you can from
vines and on land not previously plant
ed In potatoes. When you gather these
potatoes, bank separately the ones
grown from the vines and the ones
grown from the slips and note the
keeping qualities of each.
Potatoes should not he banked for
two years In succession in the same
place, because the fungi which cause
these rots will live over in the obi
banks and attack the new potatoes as
soon as they nre hanked. Where po- j
tato houses or cellars are used for
storing, they should be cleaned out
and disinfected before the new crop
is put In. This can he dene by clean
ing them out thoroughly and (hen
spraying the wails ami floor with a
3 per cent, solution of formaline or
a 1 per cent, solution of copper sul
phate (Blue stone.)

JUDGE A. C. HASKELL DEAD.
For Many Yours Prominent in PubltOj
Affairs of the Suite.
Columbia. April 13.?Judge A. C.
Haskell, for many years one of the
lending men of the state, both in pub
lic life and in business affairs, died
this morning at 2:30. Last night
Judge Haskcll was operated on for
an obstruction of the Intestines. He
stood the operation well and his con
dition was such as greatly to en
courage his physicians and griends.
Later in the night, however, he
grew rapidly worse and early this
morning the end came. He was 71
years old.
Judge Haskell served with distinc
tion in the Confederate army during
the civil war.
Judge Haskell had many friends In
Laurens and the news of his death
was received here with sorrow and
regret. During the past live years he
had been a frequent visitor to the city
as the guest of his son, Mr. A. C.
Haskell, Jr.. superintendent of the
Laurens cotton mills.
MOW Tu CURE RHEUMATISM.
It Is an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.
The cause of Rheumatism and kin
dred diseases is Jin excess of uric
acid in the blood. To cure this terrible
disease tills acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formen in excessive
quantities. Rheumatism Is an internal
disease and requires an internal reme
dy. Rubbing with Oils and Liniments
will not cure, affords only tompornry
relief at best, causes you to delay this
proper treatment, allows the malady
to get a Armed hold on you. Liniments
may ease the-pain. but they will no
more euro Rhcuinntitun than paint
will change the fibre of rollen wood.
Science has at last discovered a per.
feet and complete cure, which is call
ed "Rheumaeide." Tested In hundreds
of eases, it lias effected the most mar
velous cures; we believe it will cure
you. Rheumncide "gets at the joints
from the inside." sweeps the poisons
out. of the system, tones up the stom
ach, regulates the liver and kidneys
and makes you well all over. Rheu

HONESTY. I
J By W. D. S.
Ono of the worst stus In this world
Is Ingratitude?the lack of apprecia
tion of past favors. Do a man nine
teen favors and If you refuse the twen
tieth he will he apt to forget the past
and abuse you for not doing the last.
Some men say the world Is getting
heiter, in my long experience With
mankind I have found honesty at a
low ebb. It lias been "Get all you
can and pay as little as possible." I
have done a credit business for 40
years and find that if a debt is not
paid at the end of the first year there
Is uncertainty of its future collection,
and in a few years it is considered
settled. The civil law says after six
years it is out-lawed?runs out of
date. How about the moral law? Docs
It run out of date?
If a man lives up to the teachings
' of our Lord, he will surely make every
effort to pay his honest debts; and he
will furthermore not consider it
"smart" to cheat his neighbor out of
his goods. I think we have laws on
our books that have encouraged ex
: travaganee and have caused our people
' to get into the habit of taking more
goods than they can pay for. If the
"old cow and spinning wheel" law had
remained In force we would now be
a more prosperous people. Let a
man's property be liable for his debts
and he will bo cautious as to what ho
buys. Homestead and lien laws have
caused our people to drift off into bad
habits. The primitive Baptists are
the best folks in our land. If a man
don't pay his debts he can't stay in
their church. Our clergy OUghl to
preach honesty along with sobriety.
And If a man refuse to pay his debts,
turn him out of the church just as for
getting drunk.
The hope of an Improvement along
this line will have to come through
the family am! the church. No legis
lation can make people honest. A
? pure and honest man is the greatest
work of creation.
